How To Choose Games Adapted To Your Child\u2019s Age<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYour child\u2019s way of playing will change as they get older. It\u2019s important to keep introducing new games as your child goes through different developmental stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A game can become boring once your child outgrows it, and a game that isn\u2019t age-appropriate for a young child can quickly become frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can introduce building blocks, puzzles, and dress-up games as early as two years old. Your child will start mimicking the adults around them as early as three years old and gradually develop pretend play scenarios as they get older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
